Melle and Oh The Larceny - Emphasis on Melody and Vocals

 

     The song from Melle is lush, particularly when the harmony drives the vocals. Interestingly, “How I Long” includes touches of a trombone and ends with a brief crescendo. He is based in Leiden, Netherlands. While talking about his love for his craft, Melle said:
  “The thing that I find most wondrous in the world is when a song is created out of thin air. First there’s nothing and then suddenly there’s a new piece of music. Music is magic and I want to spend my whole life trying to share that magic."

Lyrics of “How I Long” by Melle
Your heart is armed again
I need protection
I fear myself and what I crave
For years I’ve tried to live with your neglection
But the longer it takes, the heavier the weight
 
I wish I’d forget you
How I long to carry on
 
What if I could change my mind
If only I would draw a line
I’d pick it up, this broken heart of mine
Oh
I fear more than the unknown
Still for you I’d lose it all
And it hurts
Oh I know that you won’t
Oh
 
I try to concentrate on my reflection
And I see that I don’t fit my skin
Oh no, I’m living inside a broken body
Do you even know the state I’m in?
That I’m in
 
Oh I wish I’d forget you
How I long to carry on
 
What if I could change my mind
If only I would draw a line
I’d pick it up, this broken heart of mine
Oh
I fear more than the unknown
Still for you I’d lose it all
And it hurts
Oh I know that you won’t
Wish I’d forget you
How I long to carry on
 
All the things I’ve ever known
Are on the floor
They lie on the floor
Oh all this life you wanted more
Than I could show
Than I could show
 
I wish I’d forget you
How I long to carry on
 
What if I could change my mind
If only I would draw a line
I’d pick it up, this broken heart of mine
Oh
I fear more than the unknown
Still for you I’d lose it all
And it hurts
Oh I know that you won’t
Wish I’d forget you
How I long to carry on

 

     “Hold Your Head Up High” is an optimistic anthem directed to those who need one. Oh the Larceny is the duo of Tyrone Wells and Dustin Burnett. They describe their sound as “Huge driving beats, thick nasty guitars, soaring vocals, and an old souled undertone.”

Lyrics of "Hold Your Head Up High" by Oh The Larceny
Walking around in circles
Carrying your burdens
Don’t know what to do
Cause it’s too much for you
 
Reaching out for something
Coming back with nothing
Don’t know what to do
Is there anything left for you
 
I am begging you please to hang on
Hang on
I am begging you please to hang on
Hang on
 
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
See it in your eyes
You were born to fly
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
 
Hold your head up high
 
Memories can hurt you
How the words can burn you
Making you feel alone
Turning your heart to stone
 
Life can be a nightmare
Leave you feeling so scared
What are you going to do
Where are you running to
 
I am begging you please to hang on
Hang on
I am begging you please to hang on
Hang on
 
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
See it in your eyes
You were born to fly
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
 
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
 
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
See it in your eyes
You were born to fly
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
 
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
See it in your eyes
You were born to fly
Hope is just around the corner
Hold your head up high
